Step 1: Registration

Eligibility: Active UC Berkeley affiliates (students, faculty, and staff) from across campus. You need a Cal 1 Card and CalNet ID before beginning the registration process.

General registration is offered on a first come, first served basis as capacity allows. Students taking classes held in Jacobs Hall may activate a Maker Pass at any time during the semester by proceeding directly to steps 2 and 3. Research users may also apply for a Maker Pass at any time during the semester for lab-sponsored work.

Step 2: Maker Pass fee

Select the payment option that fits your situation. Please verify you are eligible for a Maker Pass by completing the registration form in step 1 before proceeding, as refunds will not be issued.

Step 3: Safety training

Individuals who have passed the GWS training in a prior semester do not need to retake it, unless it is deemed necessary by Jacobs staff on an individual basis. Regardless, you must be currently enrolled in the training course; you can check for this by clicking the link provided above.

Now what?

Once you have completed all three steps above, your Maker Pass will activate on your Cal 1 Card within 1-2 business days. Maker Pass access is valid from the first day of instruction to the last day of the semester.
